Aluminum Mobile Rack

3-4  Troubleshooting

Q. I installed the EZ-Swap 2 but my computer does not detect the hard drive in it.
A. Be sure to turn on the EZ-Swap 2 by setting the Key-Lock in the Lock position.  The

EZ-Swap 2 will not turn on unless it is locked.  If you are using a brand new drive, make

sure you initialize, partition and format the drive before trying to use it.  This can be done

using the software that comes with the HARD DRIVE or by using Windows’ Disk 

Management utility.

Q. The data on my hard drive is corrupt!
A. Connecting your hard drive to the EZ-Swap 2 is just like connecting a your hard

drive to the inside of your computer.  The EZ-Swap 2 itself will not corrupt your data.

If your data has become corrupt, it is likely caused by removal of the EZ-Swap 2 cartridge

while data was still being written to the hard drive.  

NEVER REMOVE THE EZ-SWAP 2 CARTRIDGE WHILE DATA IS BEING

WRITTEN TO THE HARD DRIVE.  Doing may cause the hard drive to become

corrupt.  Make sure all applications being run off the disk and all files in use are no

longer in use before removing the disk.  To be safe, it would be best to shut down your

system before removing the cartridge.
